5/16-18 x 1 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is built for applications where a pointed set screw should center in a prepared spot and stay loaded by pellet friction. The nylon insert does not contact the shaft; it works in the female thread to add friction during installation and removal. Use this alloy steel body with the nylon locking pellet where the drawing calls for a mechanical set screw, not a corrosion-focused stainless part.
OEM assemblies with spotted shafts use cone points to separate the locating function from ordinary clamp screws.
For non-catalog lengths, Cold Headers can review whether a nylon-insert cone point configuration can be quoted. Cold Headers helps industrial buyers keep the point style, drive type, and locking feature aligned with the drawing requirement. Review thread size, length, hex key size, point style, and mating-surface marking tolerance before replacing it with another set screw.
